Artist Trading Card - All About Nature

Sometimes when I make a card, the first attempt doesn't turn out the way I intended but that leaves me with parts that are too nice to throw away so I often put those into my box of "extras" for future use.

When I saw the new Tag-Along (and ATC) challenge was butterflies or birds, I knew I had a perfect starting piece for an ATC in my "extras" box.

This background isn't quite as vivid as the one on the card I had made previously (see below). And unfortunately the butterfly also didn't stamp as well. It's not as visible in real life as it's a small ATC and the photo on the PC is larger than the actual ATC. For this ATC I added another butterfly at the top and then ran a black ink pad along the edges for some definition. 

The stamp set used is by Tracy Evans for Aall and Create - Spread Your Wings. It's been retired but still available from various retailers.

I am entering the ATC here:

• Critter Crazy Challenges - Critters
• Daisy Chain Challenges - No Design Paper
• Let's Craft & Create Challenge - Beautiful Butterflies
• Stamping Sensations - Inspired by Nature
• We Love Stamping - Spring
• Tag-Along (and ATC's) - Tags or ATC's/ opt. of butterflies, birds or blooms

Btw: This is the card I was referring to using the same stamp set. If you missed that post and would like to read more about it you can find all the info here:
